Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 111
Destiny (6)
“If you do that, you try a surprise attack!”
“yes?”
Whether or not Gwak-sul has a blank expression on his face at the strong attacks from Dokgo-pae and Makho-yeol.
The two of them, as if they were already ready for an ambush, began swinging their swords and swords in the air.
“… … .”
Kwak Sul looked at the two with a bewildered expression for a moment, then sighed faintly and used his stealth ability.
Still, thanks to what he had learned from Instructor Eun-ryeo over the past four months, he was able to somewhat erase the presence of others.
How long did Gwak-sul remain hidden, not making any noise?
Dokgo-pae, who had been absorbed in Dokgo Gugeom without any rest, put his large sword aside and shouted with a crumpled expression.
“When are you going to do it!”
But Dokgo-pae couldn’t finish his words.
The moment he opened his mouth, Gwak-sul suddenly thrust his spear out.
“Huh!?”
The surprised Dokgo-pae stopped talking and quickly turned his body, narrowly avoiding the spear.
“You! You’re such a coward!”
“Hahahaha. Dokgo Au brought a truly useful comrade!”
Dokgo-pae, who had escaped the surprise attack, and Mak Ho-yeol, who was watching from the side, shouted in a way that was unclear whether it was praise or an insult.
“Haat!”
And then, Dokgo-pae’s counterattack began after avoiding the first surprise attack, and Gwak-sul fell as Chae Yeol-hap could not hold out.
“this….”
“Kwak Hu-bae. He seems smart, but he’s so weak.”
A look of pity appeared on the faces of the two grim-faced men as they looked at the fallen statue on the floor.
Kwak Sul was also a talented person who could enter the Magic Academy, so he was far from being described as ‘weak’.
However, in terms of martial arts skills alone, they were incomparable to Mak Ho-yeol and Dokgo-pae, who were the second best in each class.
“I think I’ll get some help with my brain work during the exam, and I think I’ll start by making Kwak Gwan-do grow physically. Brother.”
“I think so too, Dokgo.”
Dokgo-pae and Makho-yeol, who had suddenly become friends, helped Gwak-sul, who had fallen on the floor, up.
“It’s not enough! Put on this leather pouch and swing it around!”
“First, build up your muscles. Since you lack strength, you won’t be able to use your internal energy properly!”
He then started rolling the bucket.
* * *
After a few days had passed.
Baekcheon and Makhoyeol, who had been staying at the Magic Hall for over a month, left the Magic Hall for their next training.
But even after they left.
“Stronger!! Faster!!”
For some reason, Dokgo-pae was diligently rolling the Kwak-sul.
“Ohhohohoho!”
For some reason, Bang Mi-hwa was still absorbed in acting.
Also, in the empty lot where Ilmok used to go, only Ilmok and four inns are left.
And for some reason, from that day on, I started to have frequent blushing and goosebumps.
‘What? Is it because the number of men has decreased and the masculine energy has decreased?’
Ichimoku, who was thinking about that, made an awkward expression.
‘I’ve become a person of this era. Since when did I believe in things like yin-yang and the five elements?’
However, in this world where things like qi, internal energy, martial arts, formations, and sorcery exist, it was ridiculous to deny the theory of yin and yang and the five elements.
After thinking about useless things, Ilmok closed his eyes again to try to sleep.
Brrrr.
I was plagued by nightmares about being chased by Chu Il-hwan.
And then, a few more days passed, and the fifth test arrived.
This time, like the first two tests, the test was conducted in groups, and Kwak-sul and Dok-go-pae were in the same group.
“You promised to do as I instruct, Commander Dokgo.”
Could it be because he was tormented by Mak Ho-yeol and Dokgo-pae?
In the eyes of Kwak Sul who spoke like that, there was a venom that had not been there before.
But Dokgo-pae laughed heartily as if he liked that look in her eyes.
“Hahahaha! Is that what you mean, Kwak Gwan-do? This time, I even asked Instructor Chu Il-hwan to come with me!”
As Dokgo-pae said, he had asked Instructor Chu Il-hwan to team up with him and Kwak-sul.
And Chu Il-hwan willingly accepted the request in order to stop Dokgo-pae’s ignorant actions.
Dokgo-pae, recalling the events of that time, spoke with a face full of anticipation.
“Tell me! What should I do to get on the same level as Confucius?”
At Dokgo-pae’s question, Seong-hwan from Group A and Yeo-gwan-do from Group B, who were also in the same group, sighed deeply.
From the beginning, I was trying to stick with that youngest Confucius. It was because I had a feeling that I had failed this exam.
But surprisingly, the one who stopped that recklessness was none other than Kwak Sul.
“I plan to fight the Ichimoku Gwando last. For now, survival is the priority, isn’t it?”
“but….”
Just before Dokgo-pae could answer, Gwak-sul cut him off.
“Didn’t Chief Dokgo say it clearly? If you want to become as strong as Ichimoku Kwando, and learn how to use your head, then you must do as I say. If you don’t, Chief Dokgo will never be able to keep up with Ichimoku Kwando.”
“!!!”
At those words that were almost like a curse, Seonghwan and Yeogwando, who were nearby, looked at Gwak-sul with expressions full of surprise and worry.
I was worried that I might get beaten up by Dokgo-pae.
In reality, Dokgo-pae’s face was bright red and he was trembling. He looked like he was going to pull out his sword at any moment.
Even when faced with that terrifying sight, for some reason Gwak-sul’s face remained calm.
‘Yeah. Okay. I’d rather get hit this time and end it.’
It was Kwak Sul’s intention.
Rather than continue to suffer like I have for the past few days, I just wanted to get hit once and be done with it.
But his expectations were shattered.
Dokgo-pae, whose face had turned red with anger, suddenly burst into hearty laughter as if something new occurred to him.
“Hahahaha! Guo Guan Duo has truly become a man now! Ahaha!! A man should be able to risk his life when expressing his opinion!”
Dokgo-pae laughed heartily, but the expressions of Seong-hwan and Yeo-gwan-do, who were listening to their conversation from the side, were strangely distorted.
‘… I have to risk my life to stop it.’
‘… You were planning to kill me.’
He tried to kill me just because I stopped him from fighting the youngest prince. I was convinced that he was a crazy person.
On the other hand, Kwak Sul sighed with a bitter expression.
‘It would be better if you just hit him and finish him off.’
His face was cold and he gave instructions with a blank expression.
“If we stay in one place for too long, our location may be exposed, so let’s move.”
“Where should I go?”
In response to Dokgo-pae’s question, Gwak-sul quickly continued giving instructions, as if he had been thinking of something from the beginning.
“According to what I saw before they first dispersed, the group that Ichimoku Kwando belonged to was heading towards the east. In order to avoid that direction first… .”
Kwak-sul thought. In any case, this exam is one where the group that Ichimoku Kwan-do belongs to and the group that meets him last will get the top spot.
The judgment had already been made in the last exam. The youngest Confucius was on a completely different level from the other officials.
In this exam, all the Ichimoku Kwandos were grouped into groups made up of only the Eulban Kwandos, but in Gwak-Sul’s eyes, it was meaningless.
Because Ichimoku Kwando can fight four people by himself.
Is it because the stubborn and self-willed Dokgo-pae follows Kwak-sul’s orders without question?
Naturally, the other two crew members also began to wait for and follow Kwak Sul’s instructions.
How long did it take for him to wander around the testing center like that, hiding his traces?
“I found the trace.”
Gwak-sul, who found the group that the youngest prince did not belong to, gave detailed battle instructions.
“Please hit me!”
“Hahahahahahaha!! Hand me the badge right now!”
As soon as Gwak Sul gave his order, Dokgo-pae ran out in front, shouting.
Seonghwan and Yeogwando, who were hiding scattered to the left and right for a surprise attack, looked back and forth between Dokgo-pae who was recklessly charging forward and Gwak-sul who was giving orders from behind, and thought.
‘There is no such thing as a match made in heaven.’
* * *
The day after the exam.
“Congratulations. Dokgo Kwan-do.”
It was an interview like any other, but surprisingly, words of praise came out of Chu Il-hwan’s mouth.
As expected, Jangwon was taken by Ilmok. However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Dokgopae took second place again.
It was thanks to following Kwak Sul’s instructions.
After Kwak-sul attacked and subdued a group, he focused only on escaping for a while.
Because of that, the remaining groups were all swept away by Ichimoku, and in the end, they fought Ichimoku’s group while setting up a trap.
In the end, Dokgo and his men were all swept away by Ilmok, but he was still able to achieve a high score.
This was because he succeeded in subduing the remaining three crew members while limiting the number of people.
However, Dokgo-pae, who took second place, did not look satisfied.
“It’s not enough, Instructor.”
In the final battle, he was defeated by Ichimoku without even being able to withstand the three attacks.
Despite the fact that they had launched a surprise attack on the trap following Kwak Sul’s instructions.
“Still, you’ve grown a lot, so this is a good enough result. Think back on your shortcomings and aim for the next test.”
“I’m planning on meeting with Director Kwak this afternoon and talking with him.”
Looking at Dokgo-pae speaking with sparks in his eyes, Chu Il-hwan thought.
‘Is it called Gwak-sul?’
For some reason, Chu Il-hwan began to feel sorry for that official.
* * *
That afternoon.
“Kwak Kwan-do!!”
As they had planned, Dokgo-pae set out to kidnap Gwak-sul.
“Ha. Here it is.”
As Gwak-sul, who had already accepted his situation, sighed and answered, Dokgo-pae asked.
“What do you think about the test yesterday?”
“I think the Ichimoku Gwando is truly amazing.”
“That’s not it! Didn’t you watch me and Ilmoku Gongja’s secret fight from behind? Did you perhaps sense any weaknesses in my martial arts or Ilmoku Gongja’s martial arts?”
The two began to discuss martial arts. At first, they simply talked about Ichimoku, but then they reminisced about all the battles that had taken place during the exam.
We talked like that for a long time.
“I guess it won’t work.”
“???”
“You’re smart, but your body is the problem! Your recovery skills are great, but since you can’t use them, you can’t really feel them!”
“yes?”
How do I reenact that monstrous swordsmanship of Ichimoku Kwando?
‘If that were the case, would I be being dragged around by you now?’
Those words lingered in Gwak-sul’s throat, but he could not say them out loud.
“Come on! Swing harder!”
“Eww!!”
Before I could even say anything, the damn Dokgo gang’s special training started again.
‘It’s all because of the Ichimoku Kwando!!’
The culprit behind all this came to mind, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud.
Because the one who was stronger and more fearsome than Dokgo Guando was Ichimoku Guando.
* * *
“Who is cursing at me?”
As he crossed the magic hall and headed toward the empty lot, Ichimoku muttered while picking at his ears.
I had clearly just finished bathing, but my ears suddenly started itching, which made me suspicious.
At that moment, a sound that could be either a scream or a shout was heard from far away.
“Eww!”
Ichimoku, who had turned his head towards you, nodded once with a satisfied expression.
‘They really are a well-matched couple.’
It was the same before and during the exam, Dokgo-pae and Gwak-sul were secretly good at killing each other.
It was a truly beautiful sight, as even Dokgo-pae had become attached to Gwak-sul and no longer came looking for him.
It was a scene where he had no idea that it was because of him that he ended up like that.
* * *
An ambitious time. Somewhere in the Magic Hall.
– Has he been staying by the youngest prince’s side lately?
– That’s right.
Two people were having a conversation over the phone, separated by a wall.
– As expected, it seems that the governor has noticed. I can see that he has stationed his beloved dog next to the youngest prince.
– If you hadn’t told me, I probably would have bought it.
The man leaning against the wall in the shadows nodded.
After the last incident, they had been watching the situation for a while just in case.
Meanwhile, the man began to look around the youngest prince with an inexplicable sense of unease, and belatedly noticed that Chu Il-hwan was hovering around the youngest prince.
In addition to the man’s caution, he was able to find out because the man was of a higher level than Chu Il-hwan.
Immediately after that, the man informed his followers of the fact.
While the man was recalling the events of that time, a sound was heard from beyond the wall.
– Were there any separate instructions from him?
– … He said that surveillance might become more intense because of the last incident, so he told me to refrain from contacting him for a while. He told me to handle it as I see fit on site.
The man who sent the message gritted his teeth and muffled his voice.
It may sound nice, but it was already half-abandoned due to past failures.
If the youngest prince couldn’t handle it before he finished his training at the Magic Academy, then he might be completely abandoned, not just half-abandoned.
‘I can’t waste my life teaching those little bastards.’
He couldn’t be satisfied with his current position.
And after the current Heavenly Demon ascends to heaven, if he ascends to the next cult leader position, he could rise to a much higher position. Even more so if he succeeds in this mission.
The problem was that the inflexible fucking governor and his dog had some idea.
‘Gwanju, you are often away from home, but what about your dog…?’
It is said that a path opens to those who have a will.
As the man was deep in thought, a thought occurred to him.
‘What if you use your dog instead of handling it?’
